Lower troposphere, pressure decreases by what? correct answers by one inch for each thousand
feet of altitude increase
Why is oxygen recommended at night? correct answers You are more susceptible to Hypoxia at
night due to the eyes increase use of oxygen
What is the lapse rate? correct answers 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000ft increase
Convection is what? correct answers Vertical movements of air
Advection is what? correct answers horizontal movements of air. "Wind"
What is absolute 0? correct answers the temperature where all molecular motion ceases
speed of light? correct answers 186,000 miles per second
Outside air temperature (OAT) (also known as true air temperature (TAT)) is determined by
what? correct answers Correcting the measured or indicated air temperature for compression and
friction heating.
, What is a temperature gradient? correct answers Change of temperature divided by the distance
over which the change occurs
The source of energy for the atmosphere is? correct answers Solar Radiation
Horizontal differences in pressure are related to what? correct answers Wind
On a surface analysis chart, the solid lines that depict sea-level pressure patterns are called?
correct answers Isobars
On a surface analysis chart, close spacing of the isobars indicates? correct answers Strong
pressure gradient
What is pressure altitude? correct answers Altitude indicated when the altimeter is set to 29.92
What does an Altimeter setting display? correct answers True altitude at field elevation
When is indicated altitude lower than true altitude correct answers Warm Days

International Standard Atmosphere
Explain Density Altitude. correct answers Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard
temperature.
Three forces that affect air motion are? correct answers Pressure gradient force
Coriolis force
Frictional force
The pressure gradient force is always directed to the isobars of lower pressure perpendicularly or
parallel? correct answers perpendicularly
In thermal circulations the strong the temperature gradient results in what? correct answers
stronger pressure gradient and stronger wind
When the isobars on the surface analysis chart are close together, the pressure gradient force is
what and winds are what? correct answers Pressure gradient force is large and wind speeds are
strong
Isobaric patterns infer what about wind? correct answers direction
Winds do not blow directly from large scale high pressure areas to low pressure areas because of
what force? correct answers Coriolis force
When is the 500mb constant pressure chart suitable for flight planning? correct answers At
FL180 and above
